About Timbuk2
Timbuk2 has been especially influential in popularizing the messenger bag as an urban fashion accessory. Founded in 1989 by a San Francisco bicycle messenger with an old sewing machine, Timbuk2's goal was to make a messenger bag rugged enough for real bicycle messengers, yet stylish enough to appeal to a broader market of young, hip urbanites as an alternative to the traditional two-strap day pack. Our catchy name, three-panel design, distinctive swirl logo, and the fact that their products are made In San Francisco has added to Timbuk2's cachet.
Our unwavering passion for designing and manufacturing functional, rugged, stylish bags has made Timbuk2 popular among the authentic bicycle messenger bag brands. Today, our three-panel, tri-color design is an icon on the streets of San Francisco, and a common sight in many other cities worldwide.

Fun Bifold Wallet But Elastic Wears Out Fast,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Timbuk2 Bifold Wallet (Sports)
I already owned a nice Mont Blanc leather wallet but decided I wanted a new, fun wallet to use. For classier duties, I could always go back to the black leather wallet. The Timbuk2 bifold caught my eye because I'm a big fan of their messenger bags and laptop cases. For the most part, the Timbuk2 Bifold Wallet met my expectations and needs, for about 2 months.First, I found the dimensions to be appropriate (W-4.13 x H-3.74 x D-0.39). It's a little shorter, but wider than my leather wallet. The Timbuk2's dimensions made more sense to me since most back pockets are typically wide and sometimes short. It fit in my Lucky Brand jeans just fine. The ballistic nylon material feels sturdy enough to take some abuse. "Super-durable ballistic nylon and a slim design so you won't look like you've got a giant a**." Unfortunately, there are only 4 card slots, which is surprising given that it's actually wider than my leather wallet which has 6 card slots AND 2 side slots. One of the card slots is an ID slot for your driver's license or school ID. I was at least able to put 2 cards in each slot. Also, the slots are deep so you won't be able to eyeball what's in them like you can with some wallets where you can see the top edge to identify them. The main billfold has a divider so you can separate your bills or keep receipts on one side and bills on the other. The last design note worth mentioning is the stretchy band. At first I really didn't think I would use it or want to. But the wallet won't completely shut, even empty, unless you strap it with the band. This may be cumbersome to some people, but it didn't bother me. It is probably the least durable part of the wallet though, so it may fray or wear over time. If so, Timbuk2 will more than likely take care of it as they stand behind their products for life. Also, though Timbuk2 makes many of their bags on 16th & Alabama in San Francisco, the wallet probably is not. If you want a fun, durable, no-frills, nylon wallet, the Timbuk2 is sure to meet your needs. "So stuff your cash and go sit on you're a**...!" **03/19/2010 UPDATE** I was right about the elastic band being the least durable part of the wallet. In just a couple of months, the band stopped being so stretchy and it won't keep the wallet snugly shut. In fact, it is so loose that whenever I put the wallet in my back pocket, the band slips right off the wallet. I contacted Timbuk2 Customer Service and they were fantastic in helping me. Though this one particular product failed, I knew all along that Timbuk2 was a solid company that took care of their customers.

Nice Wallet, But Lacks Capacity,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Timbuk2 Bifold Wallet (Sports)
I wanted this wallet for the orange accents.It is nice and is comfortable to sit on. It has two sections for cash, but only four card pockets. I need more than that (with insurance cards, credit cards, bank cards, store club cards, ID, etc), so I am putting two cards in each pocket. It is still not enough rooom, but that could be a good thing because it has forced me to travel lighter. Also, because the pockets are tight and deep, I no longer have to worry about cards falling out of my wallet. The band is a little annoying at first, but you come to value it.

The wallet conception is a great idea. The only pit fall is that the elastic strap fatigues too quickly.
